We just had our state competition here in New Mexico this week. It was one of the best print judgings I've been to in a long while--not just because I did as well as ever, but at our print competition, we also follow it with a print critique where you can get specific feedback from the judges on your prints and why they scored the way they did and how you can improve.

Anyway, I merited with four out of five, which is a record for me--and my balloon print came away with a 95, which is definitely a record for me.

The print titles, in order, are:

Ascending to the Storm
Journey to Day's End
Reigning Monarch
Suede and Stone

You are right, Marc. It is one of the two balloon prints from pronet. I entered the other at Southwest and merited with that.

I don't know if that's such a good idea, Jane. We had our convention at an older hotel that was in need of a good cleaning and I was apparently allergic to something. Now, I'm really paying for my three days out of the office.
